No
there is nothing to stop it
imagine the boundary condition
where you almost get all the way around
Because the acceleration never adds tangentially
it's velocity is constantly increasing
It adds perpendicular ly
but when does it change?
again imagine the limit
For velocity to increase, it would need to add tangentially
It only adds perpendicularily
Since it is a loop
but it's in constant freefall. that's why astronots supposedly float
The acceleration downwards at one point is equal and opposite to that later
doesn't matter. it's in freefall
Net change cancels
hmm
need to think about it
Wait do you get it now?
no not yet.
will go tend to my fermentations for a bit
Yes, I even made a rough diagram with a satellite that I totally drew all by myself
@Flat Earth PhD maybe i can help, its moving in a straight line but the space time is bent
😂
actually a cup of space time sounds good right about now
Acceleration is normal to the velocity so the speed is constant
because curve are straight lines
right
you need to think 4 dimensionally
You can suffice with a Newtonian idea of gravity
you can suffice with g=9.8m/s^2
its all i used in mechanics
No you can’t because it’s like 9m/s^2 or so in orbit
no it isnt, orbit is not real
*sigh*
Anyway, here’s a better depiction showing the change in apparent attraction
i see thats the first time youve heard that on a flat earth server
